are tim and toby ever nice to each other :(
This made me realize I’m really lacking on proxy bonding (besides Kate and Toby) cuz I don’t want people to think they’re ALL just misery and fighting. They just show affection in more subtle ways. SO I WILL BE UPPING MY TIM/TOBY/BRIAN/KATE JOYFUL ANTICS SOON. In the meantime . I have a few old drawings of them being happy and messing around .
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
said it in a few text posts BUT tim taught Toby to drive and taught Toby a lot of car stuff, which is Very important cuz toby ends up becoming a mechanic in my AU . I think they do a lot of stuff like that together - tim and Brian teaching Toby a lot of stuff his dad failed to teach him, and I think they also have a better grasp on like… gender? Like Toby’s dad was really cruel to his family about gender roles, especially toby “being a pussy” and “needing to man up” and getting pissed if he caught Toby doing any “female chores” for his sister/mom . But then Tim and Brian are teaching him how to garden in the back yard and they’ll buy a box of shitty cheap cookie mix and ask toby to make it cuz they’re tired and half the time when Toby says something sexist (more so smth engrained in him like “I’m not a fucking chick don’t tell me what to do”, not smth out of hatred for women. JUST TO CLARIFY.) they’re like “toby what are you talking about” . So having like actually masculine role models who, ILL ADMIT IT HERE THEY ARENT GREAT THEYVE KICKED TOBYS ASS (and vice versa, the violence goes both ways), are typically more understanding of his situation, who don’t mock or kick him when he’s down, trust that he’s actually strong enough to handle himself, teach him important life skills, pat his back when he needs it, tell him they’re proud of him . etc etc. I think it means a lot to Toby. I like to think he finds himself modeling himself after them, even though he(and everyone else) insists they’re also assholes who think they’re better than the rest . N he really misses them when they ditch Alabama
This was a rlly quick ramble it’s 8am I need to go do my makeup so I’ll hopefully touch on this later cuz I wanna make more happy art with the proxies

42 behind the lens — curtain call !
epilogue
scaramouche x gender neutral reader
Tumblr media
It’s at the times between recording scenes where you really get a glimpse at your lover.
His sweat stained hair and tear stained cheeks from a rather intense scene never get old. You were feeling rather fond as he made his way over to you, falling into your director’s chair and heaving a heavy breath. The only one other than you allowed to sit in it.
For a mere moment, you both simply look at each other. You guys were on break so a few conversation topics come to mind, it wasn’t often you guys got to speak as lovers rather than coworkers during work. And while they’re all things you’d like to talk to Scaramouche about, you realize you don’t need to force conversation with him.
There’s a hue of weariness that shows in Scara’s eyes, but you can tell that he’s happy. He’s doing what he’s been striving to do for all his years at university, so of course he is.
You search his dark eyes for his thoughts, too. When your eyes meet Scara’s he let’s out a tired smile.
“I missed you,” he easily says. The words come out easier than they would’ve years ago.
Your heart skips a beat, even years later.
“How? We’ve been working together all day,” you say.
“Do I need a reason to miss the person I love?” Scara scoffs, looking away from you to study the script he brought with him.
It isn’t the first time Scaramouche had told you that he loves you, but it’s never stopped holding the same weight it did the first time he’d ever said it.
It’s a rare type of love. The kind that exists so rarely for people in this industry and that lead lives similar to your guys’.
His loves makes you feel alive everyday. And Scara should know it, you should tell him more often—even if it’s rather dramatic for midday on set for their most recent project. It’s something you’d bring up at night that you two could laugh about in bed. Even if it catches Scara off guard.
But Scaramouche’s love caught you off guard, too, and every second you got the privilege to spend with him was a gift.
And as you stare at him, fiddling with the sleeves of his costume and eyebrows scrunched as he mouths his lines, you couldn’t help but feel your heart grow heavy.
“I suppose you don’t,” you reply, a minute too late, but Scara still chuckles at your response as he tosses the script aside.
“What? You’re not going to say it back?” he teases, “And I thought I was the emotionally constipated one.”
“Oh, fuck off,” you mutter, hitting him on the shoulder, “I love you, too. I guess.”
“Archons, you’re worse than me.”
“No, you were much worse when we were younger!”
“It was hot and mysterious when I did it.”
“Uh huh, just go back to set I’m sick of you.”
“Weird way to say you agree but okay.”
“Go!”
.
.

synopsis — you, better known as STARDUST, and BALLADEER have always been in competition for the top streamer spot on twitch, which is especially impressive since the two of you have never shown your faces. you’ve never been on good terms, constantly one-upping each other in matches and getting into petty arguments on twitter, causing your fans to also dislike each other. that’s until BALLADEER does a face reveal that breaks the internet with his good looks…which makes you realize it’s the same guy you went on a date with last night. the type of date that made you crave to see him again. the only problem was he didn’t know you were STARDUST and he was way different behind the lens than he portrayed himself online to you. should you keep your identity a secret to salvage the relationship or just let him go?

If you are/replace Sebastian includes;
*Reader is female mentioned but I could care less, you just have to be human. Have I done something like this before can't remember...
Oh you poor soul. You don't even know how you got in this mess. You were one day suddenly locked up in a plastic cage and this strange man bought you for an even stranger boy. Now you're stuck with them forever.
The closest you act to in terms of 'first meet' is close to Pomni. And yes you have went into the UNKNOWN and Luther had to pull you back but in this case, the unknown is much more dangerous.
And now you're trying your best to hide and run away from all of them in their weird crazy house of nonsense. Unfortunately you can't even hide well because Randal's dolls will always find you. Luther is another thing. You can't act out in front of around him or else you'll be a 'bad pet' and "that's not how girls supposed to act." His words not mine. Even if you've been put in the ridiculous jester outfit. You'd prefer if they put you in those discipline outfit forever if it means to leave you alone. It doesn't matter if you lose your body.
You got a high chance into being part of the family because Luther might want a little sister but let's not go there. This time.
The other two 'people' in the house, Nyen and Nyon, you thought you could trust but apparently not. You try to avoid them both, mostly Nyen because of the times he threatened you. Although Nyon doesn't do much, it's best to not engage in any way. Why am I describing things like this is your diary?
Actually you might have a diary. But hide them well or else everyone and I mean EVERYONE will read it if you misplaced it anywhere. Randal loves to snoop especially around you. Luther says it's to get to know you better but like a parent, he's a liar because if he reads anything he doesn't like, he'll punish you accordingly. Nyen can use it to manipulate you and make fun of you but Nyon reads it... And that's it. He doesn't do much about it but he's bold so he will gave it back to you even if it's open and in the middle of reading it.
After maybe weeks or even months if time manages to slip later because if you cannot make sense of time, how can you even know the time - you're getting use to it. Not comfortable of course but it's to the point where you aren't actively scared to even look behind you.
You know what, you should be just a little bit grateful that you are Randal's 'friend' while also being under him by being a pet because if you remember in Lucid 14, it shows that Randal likes to keep parts of his 'friends' as the bible recruiter dudes were leaving(But it could also imply that it's his first time doing it while alive or smth). So yeah that's one way to lose skin.
Ranfren Characters thoughts on You(ooc);
Randal: "Oh you met my friend?? Did she escaped again if you knew em... Eh impossible but since you know her, I KNOW YOU~!! A friend to my pet is a friend to mee now come here and let's have some funn." How did you get in touch with her- actually doesn't matter to Randal, more friends the merrier.
Luther: "Hm. Troublesome at first but oh well she's just getting use to her new home that's all so I won't blame them for that. Getting docile but still needs precautions." Somehow he treats you more of an experiment than a pet. Maybe you're those last options regularly people would consider to.
Nyen: He exited the interview because a reaction of the 'new' pet of the house from him is a waste of time to him. You're not worth his trouble. But he did said something about how fun watching you struggle when him and or his master catch you escaping.
Nyon: We couldn't find him to get an interview so we came to the conclusion that he has nothing to say about you. Maybe a little pity. That's all.
Bonus? Tsukada Satoru: "Ah she's quite cute but should keep a certain distance away from Randal. Hm? Jealous? In what way or to who exactly? Randal? Oh I could never. Randal is my best friend, I'm just protecting him away from her." Maybe if you play his heart well, he'll take more of a fancy to you.

Hii, I hope you you're doing well I wanted to know if you have any thoughts/opinions on the team 7 vs team taka debate that I see some people get very passionate about😅
oh this is like opening pandora’s box. i have alot of thoughts on it but i will try to keep it simply.
my honest opinion is that both sides are veryy biased.
team 7 stans fear to admit that sasuke cared for team taka even if there’s proof he did because most of team 7 stans are shippers and shippers tend to not like admitting that sasuke does care for other people outside of the character they ship him with. which is not new i mean i see people claiming sasuke loves more naruto/sakura than he ever loved itachi and it’s just not true. again, it’s just a shipping thing i see because i assume they like the “character hates everyone but you trope ❤️” when it definitely doesn’t fit sasuke. they act like sasuke had no choice to be a team with taka when he himself chose them because he wanted them with him. (ik this gets ss especially heated after sasuke rejected sakura when she wanted to come with him. just to later sasuke pick a team that included a girl in it lol) it’s just annoying and honestly pathetic so o ignore them all the same.
on the other hand, team taka stans claim than sasuke never cared for team 7 post part 1 and act like naruto’s feelings are completely one sided. and while it’s true sasuke cared for sakura and kakashi in part 1 and later managed to cut his bonds with them, this is not the case with naruto because sasuke HIMSELF states it. taka also gets too fanonized because ppl see taka supporting blindly sasuke and think that it’s how team 7/naruto should act when that completely ignores that well, sasuke’s path is not free of flaws and his self-harming actions aren’t really smth to ignore. again, taka’s devotion for sasuke is a very blind one, while naruto’s devotion can be a kind of selfish at times, it at least keeps him awake when sasuke is doing smth that’s self destructive. also as perfect as ppl say taka are, they ignore that sasuke doesn’t return the same devotion to his teammates. he’s not completely honest with his goals (as we see him only telling obito in private that he wanted to slaughter everyone in konoha and prior he had been just feigning in front of taka when he said he just wanted the take down the elders only.), he also left and cut them off during the 5 kage arc and he didn’t have any intention of going to seek them again, only after they seek him first he accepted them back to help them. and like Yes, sasuke cares for them as a team as he did for team 7, since we can see him fighting for them in their fight against bee with the same determination he wanted to fight for team 7 in their fight against gaara. but there’s still a disconnect between them. and this is ignored by stans that also blatantly deny that naruto is special to sasuke in a way nobody but itachi is even when sasuke himself is the one saying this and individualizing naruto from team 7 in a way he doesn’t do with any other in team 7 AND in team taka.
so to put it simply, sasuke has show care for both teams but neither team is perfect and there’s things to criticize in each of them and personally it’s what makes them fun! i get having preference everyone has it but this discourse just has both sides acting biased and denying sasuke’s actual characterization to fit either of their agendas

👀 I mean, if you want to share your thoughts on why S7 had to happen the way it did, I'll certainly listen. Especially because I agree. And my own reasoning for it basically boils down to a) while the messiness technically could've been avoided, the tragicomedy of S7 is the ending is inevitable. The characters were never going to make the necessary choices to avoid dramatically waiting until the last possible moment to run off together. And b) Donny is Niles's divorce lawyer and Mel is Maris's plastic surgeon. Like!! On paper, this was always a messy soap opera, so why would it not have a messy soap opera ending? 🤷‍♀️
@amtrak12 OMG like yes, obviously I knew Donny was his divorce lawyer and Mel is Maris's plastic surgeon but only now that you said it, it CLICKED that Donny was his divorce lawyer and Mel was Maris's plastic surgeon OF COURSE this is a soap opera waiting to happen hahaa.
Ok so this is going to be long and possibly controversial and I don't even know if it makes sense and I'm probably wrong but here we go :
Throughout the show (seasons 1-8 before Niles and Daphne get together) we've heard Daphne talk about her disappointing love life and we've seen her go through a number of disappointing partners: the guy from season 1 who dumps her in A Midwinter Night's Dream ( i forgot his name), Rodney, Joe. I'm sorry, maybe people liked Joe, but I didn't. He doesn't respect her boundaries..she asks him to leave before her employers find out he spent the night in their house, she's clearly uncomfortable with the situation and he brushes off her worries, he prefers spending the anniversary of their relationship in Vegas with his friends instead of his girlfriend?!? He dumps her in a restaurant and marries someone else like what? 4-6 months later? Anyway. I think we can safely say Daphne's been unlucky in love, at least up until Donny shows up in season 6. And until this point I'd say Donny is the best boyfriend she had, but still not a great one overall. And I'm not saying that because he's standing in Niles's way (he doesn't). Yes, sure, he's romantic and thoughtful enough and has other good qualities and all that, but he's also a bit clingy (proposing after like 3 months when he doesn't even know if they're compatible to live together seems a little extreme to me but whatever), he has a very different lifestyle to hers and he's a total slob. That scene where he's lounging on Frasier's couch while eating Chinese and she's bringing him a soda (after they went jogging or smth like that) just paints this picture of their future to me where she's at home all day cleaning after him and a bunch of noisy, chaotic kids that never listen to her, him coming home late every night, maybe trying to help but eventually messing things up even more (like the Simon thing) until she ends up just as resentful and frustrated with her life as her mother. ( Maybe I'm being too tough on Donny here but that's the way I see it)
But going back to my original point, Daphne's love life hasn't been great.
Now let's imagine at one point (before season 7) she finds out about Niles's feelings for her and after a number of episodes they get together, just like that. ( Also this works GREAT in fics, where other different drama and complications can be created ,but here I'm referring only to the way things go in the show). No big drama, no big complications. And yes, we theorize about her feelings for him and how long she had them and we know she does have them and she represses them BUT to me, if they would've gotten together in a much simpler way, it would've raised a question: Did Daphne accept Niles because she developed genuine feelings for him OR because he was the only one there, offering when no one else was in sight, and she felt like he was her last and only option? And I think this is where Donny comes in and this is the role he's playing. HE's the only one there at that point (so she thinks), HE's the one offering marriage, HE's her last and only option. So she accepts him. I don't believe she was ever in love with him, yes she had feelings for him and genuine affection but I never thought she was IN love with him. And then she finds out about Niles's feelings and her whole world shifts. Now she has a choice, there are two options here: She could go on and marry Donny and live a secure (and maybe happy) life or she could turn her world upside down, torch everything like you said and run off with Niles. And by choosing the latter she proves her real feelings. She proves that she REALLY LOVES Niles, she chooses him not because he's the only option but because he's her option, he's THE ONE she really WANTS and she's willing to risk everything to be with him, which proves to him and the audience the strength of her love.
As for Niles and Mel, I agree the marriage situation was unnecessary, an engagement would have been enough, but they needed something a little more serious than a few months relationship that could've been broken with a single conversation. Because this is his opportunity to grow and show courage and prove himself in front of Daphne and the audience. By standing up to Mel, in front of a room full of snobs from their social circle, he's standing up to all the years of emotional abuse and manipulation he endured in his relationships with both Maris and Mel. He's finally bold enough to say what he thinks and what he feels and he's not afraid to be loud enough to be heard by everyone.
And yes, he's the villain in Mel's story, when you think it from her point of view, marrying her then running off with another woman 3 days after their wedding IS devastating and he deserved some repercussions. But it's not Mel we've been following for 7 seasons, it's not her heart we've seen beeing broken over and over again, it's not her we've been rooting for this whole time. And while NO, I don't condone cheating in any way, I'm tired of seeing people so offended by the way Niles and Daphne got together, saying it ruined the characters and the relationship. To each their own opinion of course, this isn't me trying to change anyone's mind about anything, everyone's entitled to feel they want to feel.
But I still think that storyline, flawed as it was, was necessary to illustrate the strength of the love those two had for each other and how far they were willing to go and how much they were willing to fight for each other. And that couldn't be done as effectively by a simple storyline where she finds out, she struggles with her feelings for a few episodes then they have a nice little conversation about their feelings and they decide to be together. Or maybe it could, I don't know.. Bottom line is I don't mind the way it happened and I think it was worth it, the character development was worth it and their relationship was worth the wait.

i hate the song something to believe in dearly and truly. it’s the one part of newsies i cannot reconcile because it’s just so bad
please fix it. or do something with it
it’s just not a banger i agree. alright.
send me issues from the Plot or Script of this darn show. and i’ll fix them onstage
so my rules for this is that i cannot cut the song. i cannot invent a scene bc i did that already & that’s cheating.
i do think tho that the key to being… fine with something to believe in is the scene right before. i think that scene MUST be fucking stellar in order for the song to be passable. and the scene before…augh. it could also be written better. the positionally of it and the context and the stakes are more interesting than what they say to each other. except. for.
“don’t say it like it happens every day. i’m not an idiot- i know girls like you don’t wind up with guys like me. i don’t want you promising nothing you’re just gonna have to take back later. but standing here tonight, looking at you… i’m afraid tomorrow’s gonna come and change everything.” EATS.
what’s rly important abt jatherine to me is that jack like. literally does not express his fears to anyone else except her. he talks about regret and anger with davey in wwh(r), i’m not counting that as fear. kath is the only person in the show he shares this with. and what he’s afraid of is being alone.
tomorrow coming means he did vote for the disbanding of the union, it means all the kids he loves are angry and done with him, tomorrow means everyone is gone from his life. (in his pov).
so katherine has a job with this song. she has to refute those fears, finally admit that she’s fallen for him, which means he won’t be alone, even if he leaves. he’ll be in her heart, he’ll have a home there, even if he were to get on a train the next day. she initially comes into this scene demanding something of him, but when she learns his actions were done out of this loyalty and his fear for others & himself… wow. “you snuck up on me, jack kelly. i didn’t even see it coming.” YOU KNOW?? going from “cocky little sonofa” to “of course there’s something” is wild for her
she needs to see him FULLY and completely by this point. idt she does until now, it has to be here for this scene & song to mean anything. this is her almost like. protecting his scared little heart. she says she’s in love (he doesn’t), she assures him it’s okay that it might be for a short time, that it’s random, that things like this CAN be something that happens any day. she offers terms that are accessible to jack, that can let him love her. belief conquers fear, undermines it, and if there’s something reporters are good at it’s getting to the root of something. she just has to take an angle that she didn’t expect from herself.
i think honestly the only line that genuinely bugs me abt this song is jack calling her “an angel come to save him”…. especially cause that boy ain’t white anymore we’ve grown passed that as a community so now it’s like. eugh like SURE, sure, but jack u did lead the strike. with ur boys. and ur leadership skills. and ur love for them. so i think this can be said as a knowing tease and she can wave it off and blush and whatever. u can make it cute i promise.
smth abt uksies that was stellar (wow what a shocker rizz is praising uk newsies…) was how emotive and present bronté’s kath was thru this song, she reacted to every word jack said to her. as long as she’s present i think this scene and consequentially the song can work. u just cannot forget abt katherine’s stakes and her journey of learning abt who jack kelly really is. it’s not a bad song bc it’s a love song it’s bad bc it’s not…. actually about how THEY fell in love. the courage and fear line from seize the day should’ve had a reprise moment here bc that’s what their relationship is based on.
if newsies rly was a love story i think that would be the proper theme through their whole arc together. jatherine is about fear and courage. and so is the show. tbh. just saying

Ok so making this its own post but, cTommy as St. Jude the patron saint of hope and lost causes.
So as a martyred saint I'm assuming that St. Jude's lost causes applies to like, causes that you know are doomed but still hold on to anyways, and in a broader Catholic sense I’m assuming it probably means holding onto your faith in God even at risk of persecution. Whatever. But I also love the interpretation of lost causes as causes that other people have given up on. Causes that were left behind by all but you. I think both ways to interpret that fits absolutely for Tommy. Tommy who believes in causes until the end. Tommy who held on to Wilbur, to Tubbo, to L'manburg until there was nothing to hold onto, even AFTER there was nothing left to hold on to. Tommy who refused to give up on Wilbur even when everyone else did, who trusted that he wouldn't press the button (even if he did, weeks later), who followed him around after revival, and when asked why said it's not about giving him second chances, "It's about making sure you don't give up on the people you care about." (credits to @angry-ursidae for the transcript!)
Also very fitting that St. Jude was one of the 12 apostles, the ones who founded the Church after Jesus' ascension. Tommy who was there from the beginning, who was there to found L’manburg and believed in it wholeheartedly, who died for it even before he could see what it would become. Planting seeds in a garden you’ll never get to see.
@Aurhis-aurelio-innit’s tags also provided some key tommy moments, especially on hope:
#sobbing and wailing #tommy and hope. #do you remember that pogtopia line. #about how what happens if we dont have hope and all that #i dont have it memorized but god im forever thinking about how he views hope as a reason in and of itself to live #ist always him choosing over and over again to love and hope even if everyone tells him theres nothing there #shows him that love will only hurt #and lvoes anyway. #its why i love shroud so much #he got that spider after the prison #and he still had space to hope theres smth better life for them #if i got timelines right anyway possible i didnt #anyway. #ur so right prev u get me #like how lmanburg wasnt meant to be but IS #both works so well #aurebagels
cTommy as the Church of Prime’s Patron Saint of lost causes. Of the unloved. Of Hope.

FSR rambles 18 dreams about being gannon
Tumblr media
Direct parallels to Gannon/OOT.
Sweet time to mention Shadow can play the piano haha. I have a plan for a comic on HOW he learned but that's a later date type thing.
Tumblr media
HERO OF TIME HIIIIIII. 💖 Also Naavi.
He's here to murder shadow. Noice.
Seems like Shadow's just getting haunted by this guy considering his appearance earlier in the comic in page 290 -
Tumblr media
Seems like Hero of Time just isn't a fan of him or smth. XDDD
Tumblr media
Ouch. That looked like it hurt.
Also hi who are you.
Also considering I know who you are...Why are your eyes Blue buddy? :D
Tumblr media
"Aw shit. I got sliced"
"Also I'm younger"
Ah dream logic.
Tumblr media
Hi Perry-
I mean uhhh
Totally mysterious purple clad hero.
This is a character from the planned sequel of FSR. and I can't speak much about him. You'd know a decent amount about him if you've seen the FSRA posts.
Also his eyes changed...Again...
Tumblr media
When I dream I have nothing but nightmares too shadow. Smh.
Oh Hi Link. Why are you wearing white and black. Basically the reverse of Dark Link's fit? Not weird at aaaaall considering that wasn't what he was wearing before he pulled the sword...
It's been around for awhile NOW but Shadow's hair changing to have a red streak...much like a certain gerudo man we know isn't odd at ALLLLLL.
Also nice Malice eyes Shadow.
Tumblr media
Yeah I'm sure the magic demonic 8 ball will have the answers you seek Shadow.
Considering the Gannon flashbacks we just saw...Who's "him" Dark? Because Dark could just as easily be talking about Vaati here. But really it's up in the air on who he meant exactly.
Dark keeping his horns from his vaati convo and it appearing on his human ish form was a fun detail to add.
Random note to think about: Dark had to put himself back in Shadow's hat after sneaking off to vaati's house and that imagery is funny so I'm sharing it with you.
Tumblr media
Dark's hair is still vaati colored as well and his behavior is reflecting him still.
Link talking about food and sleeping is just about the most link thing ever so Dark gives absolutely no shits about it.
Tumblr media
Haha you should have chosen your words more wisely shadow...
It ALMOST sounds like you don't WANT Link here...which Dark can pick up on pal-
Oh shit. You repeated it you meant it.
Tumblr media
Yeah don't shout Link could wake up.
Dark kinda SORTA seems to know what's happening...
But he's using "I think" and uncertain language. (You know he's not sure of smth if he's using phrasing like that hah. Since he's usually so self assured in his assumptions.)
Tumblr media
Lol ignore how often my dumbass forgot to keep Shadow's hair right. Mistakes happen. 😅
Hey Shadow, abusing the nutcase isn't gonna get you very far.
Especially because he hates your guts.
Dark's kinda right here tho. Shadow's being selfish as hell rn.
The phrase "Does the word "HERO" just have no meaning to you? You disgust me" specifically gets a chuckle out of me considering who's mouth it's coming out of.
Dark continues to miss identify Shadow as Gannon when he said "you're as old as time" (More of a reference to demise depending on how you look at it but same diff)
Dark sweating visibly showing he's still very much scared of Shadow.
Tumblr media
Shadow pulled his head out of his ass for a second and realized Dark's acting weird. (Like Vaati)
Dark's instant snap back is amusing but also sad. Like. Shadow doesn't "know him" not in any meaningful way. But he does yield and admit he was looking at memories for... YEARS in the head space.
Which is just a level of horror beyond comprehension.
Imagine spending YEARS looking at other people's memories just to get yanked out of it randomly by mr root of all evil himself bitching at you about smth you don't even know about, some guy you had a single conversation with YEARS AGO. But oh yeah. It's only been maybe 8 hours in the real world and all perception of time and reality was thrown off and you're being accused of being a different person after all that shit.
To say Dark Link isn't having a fun or good time would be an understatement.
I touched on it in a fic where Link and Dark bang of all places but Dark's existence is an existential nightmare.
Dark Link's EXISTANCE isn't fun for him. He's gonna mention it later too but he's MISSERABLE and vocal about his misery and pain just being alive.
Something weird to think about: Who's memories was he even looking at?
Really from his vague description it could be ANYONE.
I personally like to think it's vaati's considering he still has his hair shifted to be vaati's tone, is acting like vaati and mentions shadow being "Annoying"
though Link and vio are high possibilities too haha.
A mix of all of them aren't off base either.
Tumblr media
Identity crisis how fun...Dark struggling to separate himself from the memories he's witnessed is concerning to say the least.
At least he's willing to be helpful with what he thinks is going on.
Really he could have just said "Fuck off figure it out yourself" but he offers to try and explain shit to Shadow from his perspective.
Dark's openness to cooperate despite everything is smth noteworthy.
He has literally no reason to do shit like this (Even if it fails) ESPECIALLY considering his distaste for Shadow. He just does shit that's helpful or nice cause he can.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just little characterizations that Dark Link is more like Link than you'd first think considering his introduction.
Also OOT reference again with Ganon entering the sacred realm to steal the Triforce of power.
The second Shadow mentions them splitting is a relief, Dark cosplays Vio. XDDDD
Tumblr media
Even Shadow thinks that was Vio like haha.
Dark's avoiding Link is the funniest part of this. "Oh shit he's waking up, gotta run. Don't wanna talk to him." XDDD
Tumblr media
Don't do it Shadow.
It's a terrible idea.
Last time Link was here he was wanting to off himself so he might not be the most mentally sound individual!
Also who's happy to be woken up...
Dark Link being the voice of reason here about the pros and cons to waking Link up or even listening to him haha.
Tumblr media
Considering what happens HAPPENS, that probs would have happened REGUARDLESS of if he was woken up or not. The change really is down to whether or not Shadow would A. Even be around for it. B. Be the one to wake Link up and have that burden on his mind or C. Just let shit happen.
Shadow is putting a ton of pressure on Dark to give answers or be helpful AND CORRECT but like...dude Dark doesn't know, he's guessing too lmfao.
Shadow makes what I consider a very foolish choice which was waking Link up.
Dark held back the explosion aspect but he is here to have fun first so uhhhh...Well he DID say it'd be funny to him and not Shadow.
Shadow defaults to blaming Dark Link "Damn demon" which...Shadow learn some accountability.
Tumblr media
Panel by panel breakdown cause stuffs getting jucy:
1- Interesting outfit choice Link. It's the one he wore when he was a bit younger. So he's got a younger mindset when waking up. Which is just sad.
2- his outfit changes to half blue half green with a purple sleeve, his hands are all sorts of wrong and mish mashed with red and purple nails. His eyes also have the wrong color. His body is distorting all over the place...Interesting.
3- Shadow you shouldn't have said anything. The coward's hiding too lmfao he knows he fucked up.
4- Safe to say he's not very happy.
Link's distorting and glitching is based on video game glitches. Which is fun because: LOZ is a video game.
There's something distinctly haunting and uncanny about buggy/glitchy game assets and I wanted to capture it here.
Like the reality of four people being forced into one body is quite horrifying and the idea of them just bugging out unable to process how many thoughts there are is overwhelming. Literally like overloading a computer or gaming system.
There's also something to be said about how he fully breaks after seeing Shadow Link.
This is brought up later so I'll expand upon it later but the fact literally the only words Shadow Link spoke to LINK was "I'm the hero Link" or smth like that is hysterical.
For living together for 7 years: They truly don't know each other well on a personal level considering their ability to communicate was stunted by Shadow being...Well a Shadow. And I wanna explore that more as the series goes on.
Tumblr media
1- Lol Green hi thanks for trying to stay calm.
2- Vio's here too. Something tells me calming down isn't working considering your face is cracking more and the tunic is flashing different colors.
3- Shadow I swear to god, shut your mouth-
4- Yeaaaaaah we saw that coming. Ouch looks painful. Good thing that body is magic hahaha.
Tumblr media
Link's just not having a good time at all. XD
I think a few people caught this but Link breaking down here was based on the forced gem fusions in SU also the distorted static version of the cartoons from learning with pibby XD
It was good inspo for how horrific this scenario is.
Really all of them are just kinda, shoved in there. Unable to truly escape and they're NOT HAPPY about it.
Blue specifically is trying to get out as we'll know later and we get more context on his thoughts about this ordeal from the Darkblue chapter... But visually you can see Link's got two faces and it remains consistent that that's Blue.
Which, is terrifying.
There's also the underlying horror that the "Why" Link is back in one body isn't truly addressed but we'll get more into that later.
Tumblr media
Shadow running for his damn life haha.
I'd be scared too if that mess was crawling at me.
The sad thing is that Link's reaching out for help and Shadow responds by screaming in terror lmfao.
Cause Link seems monstruous at the moment but the reality of the situation is he's very clearly conscious and scared. He's reaching out to the only person he can, which is Shadow.
I think this might be my favorite design of Link in this state. It's just horrific to look at. The eyes bleeding onto both his faces which are cracked like mirrors so you can't tell what he's looking at. He has Vio and Blue's legs sticking out of his back, and entire extra head forcing its way off his main one, it's hard to tell from these but his skin is glitching in both Red and Blue's separate skin tones (Blue's being a bit darker and Red's being lighter)
His tunic is pitch black which, black absorbs all wavelengths of light and reflects none...Literally keeping it trapped haha.
Tumblr media
Yeah. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING.
Anyway, Link/Green, Vio and red are all reaching out to shadow but blue is suspiciously absent haha.
Them grabbing onto Shadow is smth Vio would do...
The four sword's lil gem thingy is glitched to shit too. Each colored piece being a different size. Green's is noticeably larger while Blue and Red's are about the same size. Vio's is the smallest.
Shadow's hat is doing that thing Dark does when he's upset where it clings to his body.
Tumblr media
Yeah feeling like you can't do anything would be a feeling you fall into frequently being trapped as a shadow.
Take that agency back Shadow it's been robbed from you for too long.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Blue: GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!!
Jokes aside I love this moment. Link getting more stable as he keeps Shadow close to him is sweet.
Link just needed a hug. UwU
Or...Less cute option: Maybe...The triforce of power had something to do with it...
Tumblr media
Link/Red crying immediately when Shadow says a single word lmfao.
Link's so pretty I love him. I'm glad he's back a bit.
Tumblr media
"Shadow, stop talking." could apply to everything he says to link as of rn. XD
Link's still very much emotionally distressed and I'd be too after THAT SHIT SHOW.
I do think it's funny how Link is wearing black here and Shadow is wearing white. (It's just his usual underclothes without his tunic)
Tumblr media
Yes shut up and please just hug him it's clearly what he needs rn Shadow. X'D
Perfect cut off point lmfao.

Once in a Lifetime: ENA selfship!!
My relationship with ENA as a series is a bit interesting. I knew of her through tumblr for a while, I'd say, but never looked into it. My friend showed me the trilogy of shorts that had her (it was "Auction Day", "Extinction Party", and "Temptation Stairway" at the time), and I thought the style was cool! I didn't think much of ENA as is, but to be fair, I was still a blossoming bud when it came to figure out what I liked. After all I was only, like...eighteen. Lol.
Ena is def one of my more recent selfships, and I was kinda unsure of her when she re-entered my mind. I was unsure if it was really smth special, or just kind of a spur of the moment situation. I was still kinda feeling that as I got this quite frankly amazing commission, but seeing the WIPs and ESPECIALLY the final product made me go "Oh yeh...that's my gf!!!"
The Lore!!
My sona here is known as Lüc, which is a somewhat corruption of my own name? I wanted something that matched the sorta off-kilter, fake-video-game vibes of ENA as is. Tho, given the sparse nature of world building as of now, I'm kinda just making the setting...Earth-like with special features, lol. Maybe DreamBBQ will change things, idk yet.
But!! Lüc!! He's a starry eyed (quite literally) mid-twenty-something who owns a local theater, but it's a lil crummy. Has an old, 80s style appearance due to lack of budget, which also effects the showings. Since I can't afford big releases, I mainly show older public domain films and cartoons, with "new" content being indie films. It attracts...people, at least. I also sell cashews instead of popcorn cause I don't like how kernels get stuck in my teeth (and in lore an unpopped kernel cracked a tooth of his as a kid)
Ena sorta just stumbled in, as she does, and hung out in the lobby. Didn't even see a film, but she did buy some cashews. We did chat for a while. It was a brief encounter, but...I kinda fell for her at first sight XD
The feeling of liking was mutual, course, but she didn't really think it romantic at first. Which is why she visited so often! To see her friend! Yippie...but eventually I had the guts to tell her how I feel (we were close enough friends by then), and she was a little surprised at first! I was worried I upset her at first, but turns out she was just thinking it over. The look of realization on her face and the way she blurted out "THAT'S WHAT THE CARNATIONS MEANT!!!" still stick in my head, heh!
We didn't start right there, exactly. Ena said she needed time to think it over, so of course I let her. I was bracing myself for waiting a whole week of not seeing her, but she ended up popping back in three days later, roughly. She seemed a lil lost for words, which shocked me seeing as she usually had such colorful vocabulary. I tried to give her some support in realizing her feelings and such, before she blurted out, again, "I LIKE YOU A LOT TOO?? CAN WE DATE MAYBE???"
And we just kinda started dating! I took her out to a very nice restaurant, and that's also where we had our first kiss!!! And we've just been kinda going regular since! She still lives at her place, but she visits a lot to mine (second floor of the theater, saves space and money!!).
We're still very much enjoying being each other's bf and gf, so marriage is hardly on the table. No kids either, probably. Neither of us think we'd be able to handle it, lol. Moony visits sometimes too! We...get along best we can. I realize she's Ena's best friend, she realizes I mean a lot to Ena. We tolerate one another for her sake.
But yeah! That's my self ship with Ena! The series timeline is kinda...nebulous? Especially with DreamBBQ and the whole "second" Ena. I mainly just ship with the OG blue-yellow pre-TempStair version of her; gonna have to wait and see with this new gal!
The amazing art of me and Ena coming together was done by the always spectacular @cupiidzbow! I said before but you did just AMAZING here!! Like my sona is great but also your Ena is so cute???? I def gotta get more with her from ya! And you, the reader, should support Freddie and his monkey business!

Big TMNT 2012 review and some of the things I loved and pissed me off. So if you don’t want spoilers or complaining then please scroll past 😊
This is also extremely long because all these feelings are so bottled up 🤓
I love TMNT 2012, but these people get on my last nerve 😤 ps. Please don’t take this so seriously- it’s a cartoon and it’s just fun to talk about so read this with a light hearted tone.
I love the turtles so much and whenever they’re actually loving or gentle with each other it makes me so happy 🥹 and I wish they had more moments like that- but when we did get those moments it’s so rewarding and cute. It’s a bit disappointing that they didn’t have a lot of on screen comforting/ bonding moments together(mainly in the later scenes but also the overall show)- for example, playing video games, watching tv, relaxing, etc. And, I wish they got more time(especially in the later seasons) to just be teenagers- it seemed like they didn’t get to just live life that much, which- understandably so, since they had to save the world but 😕 I know the shows not about that but it would be sweet to see.
I think honestly if I were to be friends with any of the turtles it would be Mikey of course- I mean look at him 🫵😧 he’s so cute ☺️ and one thing I like is that he’s always consistent in who he is personally- even after the time jump. Although he can be a bit frustrating, he’s still a cutie. But, he is the most immature out of the four and he needed to grow up a bit- I think they were around 16 in season three so there was no reason he needed to act certain ways- even at 15 in my opinion. Also looking at some of their moments together- Leo and Mikey are so sweet 🥲 Leo loves him a lot and definitely has a soft spot for him and it’s cool to see them bond over similar stuff. I think out of all of them Mikey can count on Leo the most so I’m glad we had a good chunk of moments of them together 😊
another one of my favorite things is Mona Lisa and Raph 🥹 I hated it before- probably jealousy or smth idk 🤷 but rewatching their moments- I love them together. He’s so sweet and protective over her and they’re just ment to be 🥰 I also love baby chompy 🐢
Of course Mikey and Leatherhead was a very sweet time.
I don’t have much to say about Donnie but I really like him- he’s super funny and he always speaks his mind- if Leo wasn’t leader I’d honestly consider him a good candidate if he didn’t get so stressed and flustered so easily. now, reading people’s opinions on him and April’s “relationship” I understand getting annoyed at him. But, I was more mad at April and Kasey than him- that whole thing was confusing. Maybe it’s because I don’t remember much about that- but one thing I do know 😏 who did April kiss first 😗👂I’m listening…. oh- it was Donnie? Okay! 😎 I hated Kasey so I remember when I saw Donnie and April kiss finally I was like 🤩
Okay now time to rant
Okay- now onto the things that peeved me off the most 😠 listen- don’t get me wrong, I hate Leo- I actually think he’s pretty cool and he’s so cute, he’s just most likely to annoy me first- him and Raph. I understand he’s the leader but oh my gosh. He gets on my last nerve sometimes!! I feel like he sometimes is a bit controlling and lacking a bit of empathy(for example when Donnie was trying to figure something out- everyone was stressed so I understand, I forgot what exactly Leo said and the main situation but he was checking in on how Donnie was doing with the work and Donnie said “I’m trying my best, Leo.” and Leo had the nerve to say “Well, try harder!” Try harder?! You do something, dummy, you’re the leader, right?!). Okay 😮‍💨
I feel like i understand that as the leader the others should most likely listen to you in high stress situations but idk 🤷 maybe I’ll feel differently when I’m older but he annoys me a good chunk of the time when he’s being demanding- especially when I was younger. But one thing I will always agree on is that they do try to undermine Leo, especially in the beginning and sometimes treat him unfairly(especially Raph ofc). But on a good note, he is super funny and awkward and dorky and he always tries his best. One of the things I love about him is that he does care about them- regardless of how hard he is on some of the turtles. so hopefully that helped for when I complained about him.
Also raph being jealous of Leo- it makes sense but doesn’t at the same time. Like, as much as Leo makes me annoyed- he’s still the best option in terms of leadership. He listens to Splinter the most, he’s the most responsible(as responsible as a slightly immature teen could be) out of all of them, he takes it the most seriously, etc yk. But, from Raph’s perspective, I understand that if you kind of cause the most trouble, have your own way of doing things and want your fathers approval at the same time- to see your sibling(who you’re younger than) get treated seemingly better and getting praise- it’s understandable why he’s angry but that’s not Leo’s fault- and if Splinter was angry or annoyed by Leo then he said it- he didn’t make an exception. Honestly their dynamic reminds me of young splinter and shredder- and how it could have been if they got along in the end(raph being shredder ofc). I think also one of the problems is that raph thinks that Leo is or considered better than him or that Leo thinks he’s better than him but if anything I think Leo sometime thinks he’s not enough or that he’s trying his best(I think he gained more confidence in his leadership overtime but in my opinion never bordering cocky) and he always tries to keep the team together. Also, I love raph as much as the next person but how he treats people sometimes is just kinda rude- if I’m correct April stood up for him one time which made me feel nice(to be fair he deserved the reprimand and I think he gets babied too much). Again, on a good note- it always makes me so happy when he’s affectionate with the brothers. I do think that he’s a softie inside :)
Also. Karai and Leo- 🥸 If you looked at tmnt 2012, then, I don’t even think I need to expand upon that. Are they biological siblings? No. Were they raised as siblings? No. But oh my gosh that was so weird to me 😟 if you don’t understand- let me explain. Karai is Splinter’s biological daughter and the turtles are Splinters adoptive sons… you see the problem, right? I understand that, like, leo didn’t know at first but why was he so focused on her even after it was confirmed that was his sister, bro… not biological sister ☝️but sister nonetheless… The crush itself apparently wasn’t brought up again after it was confirmed that Karai was his sister but you could tell he still had some feelings for her which again is odd!- but hey- maybe he just cared about her, idk. And even when I was younger I was like “that’s not right!”. And after she lied to him multiple times- he still cared about her. He’s better than me because I would’ve been over it. And speaking of her lying- why did he keep believing her? When she announced that shredder was tracking her- me and Raph had the same reaction honestly. But anyways 😒 🤘
Lastly April, Kasey and Donnie… *sigh*
I hate love triangles , but I especially hate THEIR love triangle. I don’t remember much because it’s been years since my TMNT marathon but i know it pissed me off- especially Kasey. Now, I’m the type of person where if I see two characters on a screen and they clearly like each other and a third person comes in(unless it’s polyamory) to shake things up or add drama- it makes me so mad! It rattles me! Now- I found it weird that(I forgot what episode it was) that the turtles were talking about karai and April got jealous about how they might’ve hinted that Karai’s pretty or smth- April and karai are both very pretty and she knows that, I know that, we know that- why is she jealous that the attentions not on her? Especially since I doubt Donnie was fawning over Karai. Also, again, she got on my nerves too!
Okay- I know it seems like I’m complaining a lot- because I am. But I truly love this series and lately I’ve revisited it and I’ve spent a while laughing and enjoying some minor drama, emotional moments and the funninessof the series and aside from that- artistically it’s beautiful ans lovely to look at. When I first did the TMNT marathon I was sooo invested and even when I wasn’t feeling well I would watch every episode on DVD. I think my favorite episode has to be Parasitica for sure! And even though they get on my nerves I love and have a soft spot for all the turtles :). I’d rate this series a 8/10 technically🏆 I think they had more potential for on screen internal struggles, bonding, sibling drama and dynamics on screen in my opinion but if you love drama and action definitely check it out and overall honestly it’s just perfect(like- it has its flaws but it’s perfect simultaneously!!) and I will always love and defend this series and it will always be a favorite of mine! lmk if you agree with any of these points! Like I said- I’ll always have love for this series and maybe if I can handle it I’ll return to the series!

HELLOOOOOO TUMBLR!
So i'm not sure if someone has created a multifandom!helluvaverse (hellaverse?) but I've got some stuff written down in a google docs document I'd like to share. also, as it turns out, I don't actually know that many fandoms, so I'm requesting input from you lot. SOOOO, Introducing my take on the
MF!Helluvaverse (WIP)
everything about this is a WIP including the name i just thought it'd be funny cuz it kinda looks like it says MotherFucker!Helluvaverse-
Few Notes: I am a big Undertale fan and I tried to curb that here but i kinda made all the rings of hell UT/UTY Locations Im sorry- There are some ships that will result that are, hm, odd, to say the least. I tried to curb that a little bit. I'm trying to go with personality matches here, but i will have to be flexible with a lot. That flexibility will actually show up a lot, but as long as the basic concept can stay the same I'll allow it.
With that said...
Charlie Morningstar - Frisk (Undertale) Razzle, Dazzle, Kiki - WIP Vaggie - Chara (Undertale)
Ok, so the Frisk and Chara interpretations are based off of fanon rather than canon, since there's not much we know about Frisk and Chara's behavior in canon. I feel like I don't need to elaborate much here? I mean, I thought it was clever with the Vaggie-Chara thing, since they both fell from the victorious/more powerful world above, don't like talking about it that much, etc. etc. Charlie-Frisk i feel makes a good bit of sense. This does mean Charisk is a ship in this AU but considering I ship them I'm cool with it. If you don't like it maybe they're not in a relationship but are just good friends/see each other as pseudo-siblings? Any suggestions for Razzle, Dazzle, and Kiki? I had the inclination to use temmies but i feel like i used enough Undertale (especially looking later on with the rings)
Alastor - Bill Cipher (Gravity Falls) Niffty - Peridot (Steven Universe)
So. Alastor-Bill Cipher I feel needs no explanation. They're both tumblr sexymen with cool powers and evil tendencies (personally I feel like Pilot!Alastor is a tumblr sexyman and S1!Alastor doesn't but that's a can of worms for a different time). Niffty-Peridot is the one out of the initial six i spent the most time trying to think of, because I couldn't really think of anyone for Niffty, but then i remembered that she's kinda socially inept/unaware, and then I just thought of Peridot.
When Bill last went up against [Vox], The [Vees] had managed to place a spell on him, draining him of most of his power. The one he made the deal with lent him some power in exchange for his soul. His motivation is to defeat the [Vees], break the spell, and end the deal.
The Spell would be like the Magic Barrier in Gravity Falls, preventing Cipher from spreading his chaos beyond the town, except instead of limiting where the power extends to, it just limits how much power.
Angel Dust (Anthony) - The Ink Demon (Bendy) (BATIM/DR) Fat Nuggets - Boris (BATIM/DR) Husk - Cuphead (Cuphead)
Get ready for some real creative liberties on my part. So. Bendy would act more like the Bendy from that Hell's Kitchen AU rather than a canon version of Bendy. He's basically done with making films (whether you want that to be cartoons or porn films like in HH is up to you) but he still has to do it because of the contract. Meanwhile, I considered how Cuphead went to that casino and gambled his soul away. I also drew a bit of inspiration from the Casino Cups AU and how in that AU Cuphead ended up working for the Devil's Casino serving drinks and stuff. So, we've got a Cuphead who gambled his soul away to Bill and is at a very low point in his life. Because HH is gravitating towards HuskerDust, that would mean that in this AU BendyxCuphead is a ship. Uhh, take with that what you will. If you don't like it maybe they're not in a relationship but are just good friends or smth. Actually you can do this with all of the ships. Boris would be more like a small wolf/dog Bendy has as a pet rather than an actual person/character
Sir Pentious - Dr. Doofenshmirtz (Phineas and Ferb) Eggs - Perry the Platypus Clones (Phineas and Ferb)
This one is the one out of the main cast im most iffy about. Pentious and Doofenshmirtz are both science geniuses that try to be evil but fail every step of the way. Eventually they get redeemed. uhh i just chose lil perry clones cuz i thought'd be funny
Cherri Bomb - Harley Quinn (DC, Harley Quinn)
Chaotic, Fights for the people they care about, i think you can see the connections here
Zestial - Golden/Shadow Freddy (FNAF)
They're spooky people we dont know much about. That's all there is to it
Mimzy - Spinel (Steven Universe Future)
Now, when I say Spinel, im not talking about the Spinel from the Movie. The characterization of Spinel is drastically different between the movie and the epilogue series. Future paints Spinel as just an overly annoying and excited character that doesn't feel like that's what Spinel should be after the events of the Movie. SUFuture!Spinel feels like a good fit for Mimzy (plus they have the same voice actor, innit?). SUMovie!Spinel doesn't. I just wanted to clear that up here.
Emily - Crowley (Good Omens) Sera - Aziraphale (Good Omens)
Now, when I say Crowley, I mean Pre-Fall!Crowley, like the one we see at the beginning of S2 creating those stars and stuff. They're both really loving life and trusting of Heaven's plan but then they find out some stuff and things go awry. If you believe Em's gonna fall later in HH there's more parallels. Aziraphale believes in Heaven's plans and all that jazz, sticking to those beliefs and stuff, which I feel kinda mirrors Sera's insistence on the current plan Heaven is using.
Lucifer Morningstar - 10th Doctor (Doctor Who) Rubber Ducks - Mini K9's (Doctor Who)
Originally I was debating on whether or not to use the 10th or 11th Doctor, but i eventually stuck with the 10th. Sure, 11 is more silly, but i feel like 10 is just kinda angsty-filled while still retaining that charm and silliness. Plus, I liked the idea of having K9s as Rubber Ducks
Other Stuff
Heaven - Gallifrey (Doctor Who) Hell - Underground (Undertale/UTYellow) Exterminators - Red Guards (Squid Game) Ring of Pride - Ruins/Dark Ruins (UT/UTY) Ring of Wrath - Hotland (UT/UTY) Ring of Gluttony - Dunes (UTY) Ring of Greed - Snowdin (UT/UTY) Ring of Lust - Steamworks (UTY) Ring of Envy (No appearance yet) - Waterfall (UT) Ring of Sloth - New Home (UT/UTY) Belphegor (No appearance yet) - Medic (TF2) Blitzø - Dave Miller (DSAF)
WIP/Needed I'm still brainstorming and lookin for ideas. If you've got any suggestions for these (or for any of the others), let me know!
Upper Angels Pentagram City Imp City Satan (No appearance yet) Queen Bee Mammon Azmodeus Leviathan (No appearance yet) Moxxie Millie Luna Cherubs Dhorks Stolas Stella Octavia Fizzaroli Striker Crimson Adam Lilith Eve Roo (No appearance yet) Lute Happy Hazbin Hotel Razzle, Dazzle, Kiki Carmilla Carmine Odette and Clara Cannibal Town Rosie Vox Valentino Velvette
Welp. That's everything. I'll be taking any feedback

Do you find unrealistic for Adrien and Marinette to be in a happy relationship?
I wouldn‘t say it‘s entirely impossible but… there‘s a lot of work to do here and I just personally don‘t see it happening.
Most love square relationship problems in the show are resolved by Mari being somehow in the wrong and coddling Adrien with only a few exceptions, like that one time he apologized for giving crappy advice about dealing with Lila. Having one partner being made responsible for any problem all the time, even if both parties are at fault, is bad. And based on what we‘ve seen, Marinette would bend over backwards to make sure Adrien is happy at all times, even if it means sacrificing her own happiness in some way. Astruc himself said „Adrien is perfect, the world is flawed“, which in this case translates to „Marinette needs to overcome all and every flaw she ever has to be the perfect wife while Adrien can lean back and just exist as his perfect self“. Not sure that‘s healthy.
Other problems could come from behaviors these two have now, like how they handle jealousy or how well they communicate their feelings, that can carry over into adulthood if they don‘t learn how to deal with them. This is more speculation because obviously as 14 year olds they can learn to deal with these issues better, but there‘s potential for problematic behavior later on.
Also Adrien, before getting into a relationship, should probably do a little reflecting on who he is as a person outside the relationship. As of now, he has no real hobbies or interests or any way to define who he is as a person. I see this as a potential problem early on in the relationship, especially if Adrien isn‘t encouraged to try and find something he likes to do and… I guess becomes „dependent“ on Marinette? Idk if that‘s the right phrase to use, but I just really don‘t like the idea of someone defining themself just through a romantic relationship. Adrien needs to form his own identity first. This is not only a problem in the Adri//nette dynamic but in the Lady//noir dynamic. LB takes her job seriously and only ever uses the temps when needed, which caused CN to become super jealous bc LB relies on people who are not him. Or that time when LB was more in the loop because Fu had close contact with her and CN acted like LB was the bad guy for keeping stuff from him, not Fu. (I remember a post from Jacques i think about how Lady//noir wouldn't survive LB getting a promotion at a job or smth and that about sums it up pretty well.)
These are just things from the top of my head rn. Some of these things are speculative, because Adrien and Mari might be able to overcome their flaws and be good for each other. But at this point, I think the show went a little overboard with problems they have and even went as far as to give them flaws that are specifically caused by each other (like Marinette's stalking thing which was never a problem with Luka or Adrien pushing himself onto Kagami like he does with LB as CN.)
But again, just speculation. Me (and probably others) not shipping the square is less about how they fundamentally as people might not fit together perfectly and more about the pre-dating journey (plus now with s5 the early stages of their official relationship) being a huge mess full of toxic behavior that's barely adressed or worked on.

br4vern thoughts, mostly just a stream of consciousness
this ep needed more bravern 😭 i mean it didn’t, it was rly good and i liked him relating well with isami but between the downer ending + lack of bravern + no fight scene i’d say it’s probably the one that clicked w me the least so far, i had to rewatch it a few times to figure out how i felt………..still really funny though and the campy post-irony is really gelling well imo, the sound design of isami in that fucking suit and getting punched killed me, and lulu chugging the water, and bravern with his fucking lei of wieners and the way he said JAAAAPAAAN!! 💀
to the surprise of Absolutely no one i am so so endeared to lulu and smith………there were so many sweet moments they got and gremlin lulu is so good 😭 it’s hard being a single father when you’re (googles) SMITH IS FUCKING 24?????? AND BORN ON VALENTINES DAY??????? HUH!!!!! i thought he was like. 32. okay anyways it’s hard being a single father when you’re 24 and . i forgot where i was going with this. but i am excited for her haircut and to see who gives it to her………….
miyu sweetie i love your enthusiasm but i. am not a fan of isami’s suit design LMAO. perhaps it will grow on me once i see it in action however the fucking. spine bracer? that seems like it is gonna be a Bad Time if smth goes wrong 😳
isami’s really just having the Worst time of his life and now he’s in his hater era beefing with a child LMAO, they should’ve just told him that she threw a jug at the guy who waterboarded him and i think he would like her more :] i do assume it’s gonna be more justified in the plot by like. lulu being Of Superbia and therefore the enemy and isami’s angry at smith for fraternizing with her (especially since isami’s whole “smith doesn’t do his job” thing kinda fell apart when bravern was like “smith will do his job” and isami was like “yeah i know” LMAO) but if they continue to also play it from the angle of Isami’s Gay Feelings i hope it doesn’t drag out too much longer………….if you like the dude just tell him (<- average kaworu enjoyer sentiment) ESPECIALLY since everyone else seems to understand that lulu’s smith’s kiddo lmao. was nice to see him making more friends though :]
if i were a theory maker i would be going bananas with this show but i am not so i am simply enjoying reading everyone else’s :] there was one from a jp fan that referenced the n3i scene and i am rotating that one in my mind rn…………..anyways i feel like if this show nails its middle and ending i am gonna look back and be like Damn that was some smart writing LMAO, like there sure is a lot of heavy handed building to Something. feels careful and deliberate and with a good amount of “thing you didn’t realize was important becoming the key to everything five episodes later.” excited for what’s to come :]

Tumblr media
man, idk if it's just been a while or smth but this line really just hits me, y'know?? this, being ep 6, already shows so much personality for pikachu. he can be stubborn and spiteful, like in ep1. he can get tired and exasperated with satoshi/ash's antics, like in ep 3 and a bunch of others. and the way he connects so well with other pokemon like caterpie (talking all through the night about dreams) and pippi/clefairy over here in this ep really shows how much like satoshi wants to be: a friend to all pokemon. to connect with them effortlessly, and be friends, and play around and have a good time. and pikachu can be quite eloquent when he wants to be (with the surge ep), while getting his point across, which is remarked by a few people at this point.
Tumblr media
said satoshi, who gets most of the answers wrong lol. still, i like the way it's very interactive, where not only the audience comes in with their own guesses but the trio are also hard at work trying to sub the pokemon. pikachu is one smart mouse for sure, utilizing same words with different meanings like that (with kami meaning hair -which he took out of satoshi heh- and god, which was the answer that takeshi/brock got, and the right one too). and this isn't even the first time! when satoshi first went out, he was telling pikachu to have a 'talk' with him (hanashi) which could also mean 'toothless' = resulting in the little shit to open his mouth to throw the trainer off balance lol.
just,, it's fun to notice how much of the braincell pikachu has, especially in the beginning, and how much more independent he was too. he didn't need ash, nor wanted him. they're like-minded, but also very distant in the way they carry themselves at the same time. i'm pretty sure that with the duplica eps in kanto (and possibly johto as well) ash couldn't even tell him apart from a ditto--once it could do its job correctly heh-- and duplica told him that he would need time to understand pikachu enough to tell which one was his. and it's true! and so interesting to see how they go from here, to virtually the same being in later series (and pikachu losing his miming ability because they can read each others minds now).
but for now, i'm going to enjoy these guessing games lol.
(ps. this also can relate a lot to meowth/nyarth, who communicates what other pokemon are saying to the other rockets, but with words instead of actions. and that can also relate to actions speaking louder than words, and to judge a person by their actions (good => pikachu, who uses them more), and idk but you get it. also both of them are little shits to their team members at time, and can get cattish with replies and hold the brain cell most of the time. fun parallels)

AND ANOTHER fic idea:
Dick Grayson is the biological son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul. Haven’t decided yet how he ends up with the Graysons but either way Bruce wouldn’t have known abt him. Maybe Talia was hiding him from Ra’s or smth idk. But Talia has been keeping tabs on him his whole life and when he’s like maybe 10/11 she finds him on his birthday when he’s out as Robin (he’s away from Batman for whatever reason and just hopping along the rooftops) and tells him all about how he’s their son. And he absolutely doesn’t fucking believe her so idk maybe she gives him a hair or smth and says he can prove it for himself one way or the other.
And he does it in total secret, doesn’t tell Bruce shit abt it, and then has just a bit of breakdown when the results come in and would ya look at that after testing everything seven times it comes back as a match every single time.
And he decides he’s never going to tell anyone bc he’s terrified that Bruce will hate him and get rid of him and he’s also terrified that if that happens then he’ll end up with the league of shadows and he doesn’t want any of that to happen so his lips are fucking Sealed and he tells Talia as much the next time she seeks him out.
(This got so fucking long so rest is under the break)
The only other person who knows is Alfred bc he went to check on Dick one night and found him in the middle of a panic attack and Dick told him abt what Talia said and showed him the tests but made him promise not to tell Bruce. Alfred of course promised bc he’s swell like that but also heavily encouraged dick to tell him on his own. And dick says he will. Eventually. When he’s ready. But he’s not ready yet Alfred pls I just need a little more time.
And then a few years later when he’s on the young justice team and mgann Conner & Artemis are confessing their unsavory relations with various baddies, Dick just feels so guilty bc let’s make Talia/Ra’s more involved in the beginning and Talia has been getting closer to Dick bc she actually does want to know her oldest son and also she has a toddler who’s his full blood related brother and she wants them to know each other and she thinks Dick will be a good big brother to Damian (he absolutely is and they both adore each other it’s precious and Talia has a house in Blüdhaven now where they live most of the time and so Dick goes to visit in secret all the time). And he’s so so guilty bc he doesn’t say anything. He stays quiet. He doesn’t want anyone else to know yet that he’s related to Talia & Ra’s and he especially doesn’t want them to know he’s Batman’s actual son. So he doesn’t say anything but he does have some inside info on what’s going down bc maybe Talia thinks what her father is doing is stupid and she WANTS the Justice league to make him stop. She just didn’t think it would mean her child would have to do all the dirty work, so she’s pissed when she sees Robin and all his little friends show up. But whatever they save the day yadda yadda idk.
FAST FORWARD to the time skip during young justice. Idk I don’t remember where I was going with this I just want him to be like 14, no older than 15. Originally I wanted it to be after the season 2 finale for Extra Angst but the age thing would have to be really skewed to keep him 14/15. Idk it could work but whatever EITHER WAY-
But they’re on a mission and suddenly Ra’s shows up and orders all his shadows to stop attacking and the rest of the team is like wtf is going on meanwhile dick’s in his head going “fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfucck” whether or not that gets broadcasted over the mind link is unimportant but it could be funny if it is. Anyway. And Ra’s goes on some long spiel abt family and honor and taking your rightful place and not running and hiding and he’s just addressing this all to “grandson” and the entire team is just “who tf is he talking to” and dick is just screaming in his head trying to figure out how to get away and how to make his team not hear anything else and to never bring this up again.
Meanwhile Ra’s “if you and your mother really thought I never knew about you, then you truly are naive. I will admit it was a brilliant idea, hiding you in plain sight. But you will return with me tonight to take your rightful place as the heir to the demon head.”
Dick is sweating. He is panicking. Bc WTF Talia always told him that Ra’s never even knew she was pregnant with him at the time, only to now find out HE KNEW THE WHOLE TIME? Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck. He doesn’t know what to do. He can’t move. The rest of the team is still just so confused bc WHO is he talking to??
“And you will come with me. Because you wouldn’t want anything to happen to your precious little brother, would you?”
And he pulls Damian close to him from where one of the shadows was holding him out of their sight, and Damian is only like 4-6 and he’s crying because his grandfather is holding a knife to his throat and using his life as a bargaining chip.
And Damian just lets out a strangled cry for his big brother, and something inside Dick snaps.
“Let go of him!”
The whole team snaps their heads to him, bc he’d been so quiet and god they’re so stupid how did they not realize their youngest member hadn’t said a damn thing during this entire situation.
“Robin wtf? What’s going on?”
And he’s trying so hard to reassure Damian like “everything’s gonna be fine Dami. It’s okay. Nothings gonna happen to you”
And Ra’s tells him to drop his weapons and walk over to him, and that Damian will be fine if Dick does what he says.
And the team are all just like Robin wtf NO stop taking off ur utility belt what are u doing!! We can take him what are u doing??
But dick knows they’re all no match for Ra’s and a small army of shadows and wtf this was supposed to be some simple recon mission but their info must’ve been fucked bc this was CLEARLY a trap
“Tell Batman” dick chokes, and he’s glad it’s over the mindlink bc he knows his voice would be shaking if he had to speak out loud “tell him I’m sorry I didn’t tell him sooner. Tell him to talk to Agent A. Tell him - tell him I’m sorry, please”
And the team are all telling him he has to stop and that they’ll figure smth out but Dick just drops all his weapons and walks over to Ra’s, and once he’s close enough, he lets Damian go. And Damian darts to Dick immediately, crying and clinging to him and saying he wants their mother.
And dick just falls on his knees and holds him so close because the image of Damian with a sharp blade to his throat and his hair gripped by Ra’s was terrifying and he was so sure Ra’s was going to kill Damian anyway just to make a point and he’s trying so hard not to cry bc he has to be strong for Damian but goddamn he’s terrified of what Ra’s is going to do to them.
“It’s okay, it’s okay Dami, everything’s okay now” he whispers. “I’m so sorry, I’m so so sorry, I love you so much I’m so so sorry. It’ll be okay.”
“Enough of the theatrics, grandson,” Ra’s scoffs. “Get off the ground, it’s undignified. Now come along. Say goodbye to your little friends.”
He just turns and leaves, waving for his shadows to follow him. They all start to leave, except the couple of rly big ones who are clearly there to keep Dick in line.
And so he stands up and holds Damian close to him. Damian just hides his face in Dick’s neck, and Dick turns to look at his friends.
“Robin you don’t have to go with him!”
It’s shouted over the mindlink, along with several other similar sentiments. Some are upset, some are scared, some are confused, some are angry. Dick just holds on tighter to Damian. Because he knows there’s no more hiding from Ra’s, and right now there’s nothing else he can do that he knows will keep Damian safe.
“I’m sorry,” he repeats, his voice cracking.
“GRANDSON!” is shouted from the direction Ra’s went, and Dick snaps his head towards it. The two who were left to guard him start to close in, so he’s quick about walking towards his grandfather.
“Please tell Batman to talk to Agent A. Please tell him I’m sorry. Please please please please please-“ he repeats in the mindlink, trying to drown out the thoughts from his teammates until he’s far enough away that he’s no longer connected with them. “Please tell him I was scared.”
He’s not sure if they heard that last plea or not. He doesn’t want to know.
Haven’t decided yet what happens next but I can tell u what happens four-six months later! They’ve been on an island this whole time, Dick being trained by various shadows and his grandfather and maybe being slightly tortured. He def gets tossed in a Lazarus pit a fair few times. That’s its own special form of torture.
Talia is not allowed anywhere near her sons. Ra’s is pissed for her trying to keep them from him. She’s not even sure exactly which island they’re on.
Dick only gets to see Damian right before bed, and it’s not even every night. He’s so upset with the training they’re making Damian do. Damian constantly has bruises and he looks miserable and he cries and clings to Dick half the time. The other half of the time, Dick can see how Damian is starting to close off, trying to bury any emotion he has, and it’s killing Dick.
And one night after months, he manages to steal a bag of supplies and a boat and he smuggles himself and Damian off the island in the middle of the night, keeping a tarp over them so they look like just stray driftwood or smth. Just until they’re far away enough from the island that the shadows won’t see.
And Dick gets them to land, but he knows they’re being hunted by the league of shadows already, and it’s three more weeks of running and hiding and fighting and half-starving so that Damian won’t go hungry, then he finally gets to a zeta tube while he has six shadows in his tail and he manages to hack into the zeta to get both him and Damian beamed up to the watchtower, convinced it was the only place they could go to be safe for now.
They land heavily on the floor, Dick hugging Damian close, several JL members rushing over when they heard Robin’s designation announced. Half of them are about to go on the offensive, convinced that Robin is in deep with the league of shadows after everything they heard from the team about what Ra’s said.
But Robin is half panicked and his heart is still racing from being chased by the shadows and he sits up and squeezes Damian close. He managed to find something close enough to a domino mask so at least his identity is still safe, but Damian’s face is bare and he doesn’t want to give Batman anymore reasons to be pissed off at either of them so he keeps Damian’s face tucked into shoulder/neck.
“Batman,” Robin croaks. “Where’s Batman?”
Someone gets close enough to him to kneel down and assess him for any injuries. His clothes are kinda ripped up and he’s got several cuts and bruises at different stages of healing, and he’s pretty sure his left ankle is at least sprained but that’s not important right now, no matter what any of the league members are saying.
“Please, where’s Batman?” he begs.
And Batman just rushes in after getting an alert abt Robin using the zetas, and he swoops in uses his cape to shield them from the stares of the rest of the league. And Robin just crumbles.
“I’m sorry I’m sorry I didn’t know what to do I’m sorry-”
But Batman just hushes him and tells him everything is alright and he’s not angry, and all the league are staring bc wtf Batman has never sounded so gentle.
“Agent A told me everything,” Batman says softly, holding both Robin and Damian close. “It’s alright. Everything’s alright now. Let’s get you checked out now, alright?”
And Dick has had to be so strong the last few months for Damian, and he’s so relieved to have someone finally be strong for him.
And idk what happens after this but the team def gets mad bc they find out Robin is back and on the watchtower and they want to see him they deserve to see him and find out wtf is going on, but no one is letting them go up to visit him. Then idk what happens next. Team bonding. Batfam bonding. Talia being a good mom. Idk.

alright, I have more thoughts now.
I really love how the la didn't make Luffy super emo and edgy like a lot of live action adaptations make their cheerful main characters (I think thats mainly because la adaptations are of cartoons that were watched by kids and the people adapting them think they need to make the characters more gritty to appeal to the now older audience, but that's a whole thing). from what I can tell (again, I've never watched the anime so tell me if I'm wrong) they kept the cheerful characters cheerful, but nami and Zoro seem emo-er?? idk, and I'm not complaining, theyre great and are probably my favorite characters (so far).
speaking of nami, I really like how they portrayed her relationship with luffy. from what I can tell, she was a sort of love-interest-y person(??) in the anime, simply because she was the only girl in the crew for a while, and so it would "make sense" for her to be the love interest to the main character. I'm not saying that's what the original creator was going for, but that's the impression I got, just from what I've seen. heteronormativity, amirite? anyways, (I'm going to try to explain this the best I can) she seems more like just his best friend, or whatever. like, she's portrayed in a way that, if she was a dude, people would ship her with luffy because of their bond and how much they clearly care about each other, not just cause she's a girl and he's a guy. idk if that makes sense, but they have the sort of cheerful-and-sunshine-y with smart-and-done-with-everyones-bullshit relationship dynamic that sports anime protagonists have ig. in my opinion.
that being said, I def don't ship them, I hc Luffy as aroace, but, as I said in the prev post; he has a homoerotic friendship with his entire crew and koby.
alright moving on- the villain characters in this show are so entertaining?? like I literally love them sm, especially the clown dude, he's so funny cause he's so pathetic and he's my wife now ok? shanks fumbled so hard with him fr. the cat-villain-dude's henchmen are so fun too, they should like, kill their slimy boss and open a restaurant or smth.
speaking of how the villains are so fun AND how they kept cheerful characters cheerful is how they kept the anime-ness of the show intact very well. what I mean by that is they kept the ridiculousness and the fun colors and stuff while making it a pretty good quality remake. like, they didn't make it all gritty american action movie, for lack of a better term. and the costume designers rlly went off when making the characters still have their fun, recognizable features while still being realistic, in a sense?? cause if I'm going to be honest, anime character design is more meant for cosplay then live action. and that's not a bad thing, anime character design is fun and I love it, but it can make the whole show look low quality if ur doing a live action remake and don't adapt the costumes. the one piece live action did a good job of this and it looks really visually interesting without being too much, or just plain ridiculous.
well in conclusion, I guess, the live action is really fun and pretty entertaining to watch. I'm not one for watching shows and stuff, but I'll definitely watch more and probably rewatch it when I'm done:))
(I have a lot of thoughts on usopp, he's my #1 fav at the moment, but my brain is slowly turning into soup so I may just write those later)
anyways, tell me if I got stuff wrong about the anime, cause again, I've never watched it and also tell me if this makes any sense because I basically just word vomited and didn't reread it after. thanks for reading my rambling:))
so I've been watching the live action one piece (sue me, but I'm not watching the entire anime, I have a life) and I've concluded that luffy is indeed aroace and he also has a homoerotic friendship with all of his crew, including nami and koby. dont ask me how that works.
also, the clown guy is one of my favorite characters, not because I like him, but because he's so fun, you know? his actor really went off, tbh.
also I literally love nami and zoros friendship, their dynamic is so fun.
I'll probably rb later with more thoughts that are more coherent but this is all I got rn as I only just started episode 3.
